1.Well, that didn’t take long. After only 32 games in the minor leagues, the Athletics had seen enough and promoted Nick Kurtz to the Majors. He already has his first hit. How many more?
a.Stat line for 2025: AB, HR, RBI, BA
b.My buddy Agustin Ramirez finally got the call and promptly went 5 for 8 in his first two games. I think this guy hits and pop.
i.Your thoughts?
c.Surprisingly, the Rays promoted Chandler Simpson to the show and there was no word of a 8-year, $10 million contract that he signed.
i.Over-under 40 stolen bases.
d.Give me two or three of the next prospects you think will get the call?

2.I read yesterday that Triston Casas is moving his hands around trying to find something that works as he’s off to a brutal start to the season. He’s had two home runs since the change. Just luck, or perhaps he found something?
a.In looking at the data, his hard hit rates are about the same, and his strikeout rate is down. It might be that his .193 BABIP needs to be corrected.

3.PCA appears to be breaking out as the power I discussed when he was a prospect appears to be emerging. The hard hit rates and exit velo are all solid-average.
a.Stat line for 2025: HR, SB, and BA

4.Let’s take a look at the standings – just looking for surprise starts (both good and bad) and do you think they will stay that way.
a.American League
b.National League

5.We talked about rookies a lot because everyone knows Mookie Betts is good. I forgot who you picked for ROY, so I’ll let you complete a do-over if you want. One favorite and one deep sleeper
a.ROY for the AL
b.ROY for the NL

6.AJ Puk appears to be seriously hurt as he’s seeking a second opinion about his left elbow. Are you shifting to Justin Martinez?

7.Let’s look at the Top 15 players according to baseballsavant in Barrels per plate appearances.



8.Kumar Rocker got rocked again on Wednesday and didn’t get out of the second inning. Is it time to move on from him? How worried should Dynasty League managers be?

9.What one hitter are you looking to add in this weekend’s FAAB?

10.What one pitcher are you looking to add in this weekend’s FAAB?
